Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2022, we are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under the floating rate revolving credit facility provided by our Credit Agreement. A 100-basis-point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense on these borrowings of approximately $1.4 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.
Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. We face translation risks related to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated in U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Shareholders' equity section of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Sales and expenses at our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable monthly average exchange rates. Therefore, changes in exchange rates may either positively or negatively affect our net sales and expenses from foreign operations as expressed in U.S. dollars.
Our largest exposures to commodity prices relate to metal and natural gas prices, which have fluctuated widely in recent years. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we entered into an agreement to hedge foreign currency. The agreement will not have a material impact on the results of the Company. We have no other commodity swap agreements or forward purchase contracts.
